Prickly bits in the hay will they harm the bunny

I had these in our meadow hay.

I took them out, although im sure the buns would have been okay.

Just wont run the risk.
 
I found a stick covered in thorns yesterday in my hay!! I know what you mean! I normally take them out, but sometimes you get the spiky bits that aren't thorny, and I find that the buns go for those first, so must like them!

I can pick bits out of the hay that I know each bun will like!
 
I tried to pick them all out too, its impossible as they are so tiny.

Thanks for your answers

I'm always finding weird and wonderful things in hay :roll::lol: I wouldn't worry too much just take out what you can, I think most of it is just natural plants that's been harvested by accident along with the hay, they would encounter them in the wild anyway :wave: always best to get out what you can just to be on the safe side though
 
I think ours has thistle flowers in (yet to find any thistles though so maybe they aren't :lol:) and the buns love them.
 
The only thing I have taken out of their hay was half of a field mouse.:shock::shock: Hadn't thought about sharp bits given how much they love eating roses!
